Meanwhile, the Chadema Campaign Manager, Prof. Mwesiga Baregu, has urged the National Electoral Commission (NEC) to elaborate on where the 19.6 million voters who are registered in the voters' book have come from, saying that with the country's population, the number was impossible.He claimed that the country's population was by last year estimated to be 40.6 million people out of which 44.4 per cent were estimated to be under 15 years of age and that the rest of the population minus those under 18 years and those who did not register it was impossible to have 19.6 million registered voters.According to the recent World Population Data Sheet issued by Population Reference Bureau, Tanzania is one of the countries whose population has many youths less than 15 years (45 per cent).Prof Baregu noted that from the consultations they have made from several experts, the country like this can have a maximum of 16 million voters other factors remaining constant.Attempts to reach the NEC Director for Elections, Mr Rajabu Kiravu, to comment on the matter proved futile as his mobile phone was not answered.Dource;DAILY NEWS SUNDAY 10

Actually this is a big mistake by NEC. They have been told to held the release of registered electorates fro two reasons:

1. Watching the direction of campaign and estimating the dummy electorate to be included

2. Releasing the number of electorate near election date will give no chance to anyone to try to reconcile the real voters, and hence big chance for dummy voters to be included to aid the sinking CCM's ectorates number

3. Kinana said election strategy is not number of people who come to listen contestants during campaign rather is figure/number on the paper.

In no way Tanzania can register nearly 20m electorates is false, lie and not credible. The election is real fraud ab initio, Unless they give independent people three months to reconcile these figure, there is no way we say NEC is prepared to administer free and fair election.

The CCM-NEC-TISS strategy is whenever there is large opposition there should be secret bogus polling stations to counter the number of opposition. CCM wants to direct the country in chaos and this is part of that path. Sooner or later CCM will be out of power.
